A FRIEND of Sam. Thurman's tells
how that lawyer and stump speaker
made lapse of the tongue the other
day, during a political meeting at
Springyille, and how happily he recov-
cred himself. II don't think there's
much danger of our being swamped by
the Loyal League down here, " said the
speaker; but what l say is this: Regis
ter, and vote yonr full strength, so that
you will be able TO snow them under so
thoroughly that they won't be heard OF
till the morning of the Last Resurrec-
ton"
Just here friend behind him pulled
his coat tail, and whispered, FIRST
Resurrection.
Thurman coughed slightly, and then
quickly went on.
II said Last Resurrection, fellow citi-
zens, advisediy. l don't think there's
much danger of any of the Loyal
League being found around at the First
Resurrection"

man for whom Il surrOr! Of the

term. If some OF { e moss back pros
81 vities and ideas cling to him so
much the better. He must have the

Wars to He Investigated.

Being world of curious people, we
want to he made sure in regard to the
beings like us who live in the worlds
that we have reason TO believe habitable.
From this point Of view Mars presents
the most hopeful field Of investigation,
and for this reason sort of silent SYM
pathy for it has been growing up Of late
years. Our hearts, or at least the hearts
Of the astronomers, have yearned to COM
municate with the supposed inhabitants
of the orb of which it is POLITICALLY said
that its red light mocks the pallor Of
its white faced sister planets"
But how to communicate? In the first
place, let ii be said that the astronomical
theories regarding Mars are built upon
knowledge extending back only few
years. 1t is only since 1858 that the
principal geographical details regarding
il have been known and only since 1862
that the observations have been consid-
cred sufficiently complete to form the
basis Of geography Of the planet. A
map including the smallest objects to be
seen with telescope was commenced in
1877 and finished in 1882. Everything is
ready for the Lick telescope to commence
its work. TO add to knowledge already
gained or to change Its details.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
